Why did Adobe get rid of the "designer's" bundle plan?

Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign...

What was the logic behind the complicated model just to drive people to the All App plan? Make it even more disproportionately expensive for marginalized people to get access?

I'm trying to understand the decisions in that fateful meeting.

As @kglad says, I also do not recall a Designers Bundle plan in the Creative Cloud era.

There were the perpetually licensed Design Standard and Premium Creative Suites back in the day but they were phased out around 2013 when the Cloud arrived.

The Creative Cloud has always had individual apps plans, most around $20/month, and the All Apps plan.

If you need one or two apps and no more then individual apps make sense. If you need 3 or more then All Apps (with access to 30+ apps) is the best value.

I agree. There you used to be a photographer bundle where you would get PS, Light room and maybe one more. I think there was one for video as well. You would get a little deal with packages and I am almost positive it was with in the past year because I was condering cutting my complete suite and getting the Photoshop, light room one.
